Grace and Ethan met as teenagers in 2019 while working together at Jimmy John’s. They were often paired for the closing shift, where laughter and a playful rivalry quickly took hold. After locking up for the night, they’d run to their cars and race to the old Rite Aid, conveniently along both of their routes home. Before long, Grace found herself scheduled with Ethan almost every shift—though it wasn’t by chance. Ethan had taken to picking up and swapping shifts just for the chance to work alongside her. He teased Grace about her bread-stretching skills, while she never missed an opportunity to poke fun at his cowboy boots. It was a match made in heaven, and they’ve been together ever since! As it turns out, the old Rite Aid wasn’t actually on Ethan’s usual route home—just another small detour he happily made for her. Fast forward six years, Ethan is now a journeyman electrician, and Grace is a registered nurse. Together, they’ve recently bought a home and are the proud parents of a golden retriever named Charlie!
